18. Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.
19. The circumcision is naught, and the uncircumcision is naught, but the guarding of the commands of Elohim does matter!
20. Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.
21. Were you called while a slave? It matters not to you, but if you are able to become free too, rather use it.
22. For he who is called in the Master while a slave is the Master’s freed man. Likewise he who is called while free is a slave of Messiah.
23. You were bought with a price, do not become slaves of men.
24. Brothers, let each one remain with Elohim in that calling in which he was called.
25. And concerning maidens: I have no command from the Master, but I give judgment as one whom the Master in His compassion has made trustworthy.
